Ahh that's what I was thinking. What would be a good trans to get? Goin from auto to man. Future plans are to do a motor swap with tasteful mods. Well wait arent all 5 speeds the same? And yes I kno it's a lot of money and work and I'd be better buyin a wrx but Im getting this car how I want and don't want to give her up and redo it all haha might sound stupid to some.

Just buy a car with a standard transmission. To do the swap you need a tranny, clutch pedal install, make sure the shifter fits in your stock automatic shifter location. The dash will say PRND unless swapped with one with the wrong mileage and an ecu swap too. Honestly it's not worth the work. You could put the cash towards a new vehicle and save the headache.
